Rangataua railway cottage. This is the original Rangataua stationmasters cottage. Well positioned with a lovely outlook of the stunning Rangataua forest with the snowy Ruapehu peaks of Tahurangi and Girdlestone peaking over. Just 5 minutes drive to the mountain road and Ohakune junction. If you don’t mind the odd passing train, this is a perfect base for snow adventure , bush walks and mountain biking.

We had a pleasant stay at the property — cozy rooms, well-organized overall, and the location couldn’t be better. Everything was set up nicely, and it felt welcoming and comfortable. However, we did find a few areas that could be improved: some of the kitchen utensils weren’t clean, the kitchen setup could use a bit more organisation, and there was no shower gel provided. With a little more attention to these details, it would make for an even better experience.
Great location and cheap. Nice views of Ruapehu. Beds not very comfortable but overall fine considering how cheap it was.
